The biggest heart
On "What's he lying about today?" CBS's Weijia Jiang tried to pin Trump down about the "Cadillac Medicare" he seems to think Democrats want for (ineligible) undocumented immigrants. "Look, we all have big hearts, I have a bigger heart than you do." What do they call it when the subject wants to be seen as tough to the point of sadism but simultaneously more Christlike than Christ? Add another symptom to the list.
At least he didn't pull back the corners of his eyes and respond in a faux-Chinese accent. He's still posting racist memes of Hakeem Jeffries, presumably as a way to offend Mexicans and black people at the same time. Of course his stooge Vance thinks it's "funny" and says it will stop if Jeffries helps "reopen the government," which he didn't shut down. Other stooge Ted Cruz is adding sombreros to pictures of all the Senate Democrats, which is even funnier.
I wonder how Pope Leo will look in a sombrero. We may find out, because he enraged the MAGA Reich by saying, "Someone who says 'I am against abortion' but says 'I am in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says 'I am against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life." Why do I think his remarks were triggered by seeing the ICEstapo raids in Chicago?
Troops are preparing to invade Memphis, the Democratic enclave in MAGA Tennessee, and Stephen Miller can hardly keep from matador-ing in his pants: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with -- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are." And don't call Miller a fascist or he's "gonna put you behind bars." Katie had better be lubed up and ready when Daddy gets home.
Someone should tell Trump that Bad Bunny got the Superbowl gig because his favorite rapper Sheff G is unavailable. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder and using his music earnings to promote gang violence in Brooklyn and will be starting a five-year prison sentence. Nevertheless Corey Lewandowski said on the Tovarich Johnson podcast that his girlfriend's private police may try to deport attendees at the halftime show. I know, it's Lewandowski, but does he really imagine that nannies and casual day laborers can afford tickets to any NFL game, much less this one? Maybe he does.
It shouldn't be too hard to bully NBC into cancelling coverage -- it's not an important game, is it? And with testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee looming, Braindead Carr needs a win to make up for his defeat by ABC on Jimmy Kimmel Live and his master's weekly pummeling by South Park. Warrior ethos, my dude -- or is that dud?
Most NATO countries are democracies, even if failed ones like Hungary and the United States, so their welcome for Qatar may be a trifle muted. The oil kingdom has been promised that "any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar [shall be regarded as] a threat to the peace and security of the United States." They don't even have to translate the term "human rights" into Arabic. All it cost them was a flying bordello that was too expensive to maintain. Are you watching, Saudi Arabia? Let's talk.
Despite the TRUMP SHUTDOWN the FAA and TSA insist that employees report for work anyway, defining their jobs as essential. Not essential enough to get paid, of course. (Two Delta planes were involved in a "low-speed collision" on a taxiway at LaGuardia last night.) TSA workers aren't paid much anyway and will probably have to seek other jobs within two weeks. If they have construction skills they might apply to work on the other "essential" project, the Make 'em Believe Ballroom designed to dwarf and disfigure the White House. Said to be privately financed, which is almost certainly a lie, this mess will continue to take shape while national parks close and phones go unanswered at Medicare and Social Security.
Every time the Republiclowns shut down the government somebody gets poor, senile Newt Gingrich out of the assisted living facility and sticks a microphone in front of him. This time he had thoughts about how good everything was before Barack Obama introduced racism into America. It was the climax of "the decaying Rooseveltian system" -- Neuter fancies himself a historian -- but "now we're going to dig ourselves out of that" by restoring white power as Woodrow Wilson would have known it. But they'll never get over Obama -- here are some serious people watching Trump perform his "they bop down stairs like this" routine:
I believe "an oil painting" is how Lenny Bruce described an audience like that.
To borrow a construction from Jeff Foxworthy, if Nick Fuentes is telling you to tone it down, you may be an antisemite. Fuentes found it necessary to scold Tucker Carlson over his weird invocation of "hummus eaters" in eulogizing Charlie Kirk. The Anti-Defamation League had cited Kirk in its Glossary of Extremism and Hate, drawing so much rage that it deleted the entire Glossary from its website. Too late! K$H Patel has already cut ties between the FBI and the ADL, saying they "won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs." He made yet another charge against James Comey, that he "embedded" agents in the ADL to spy on Nazis. Lousy FBI director but always knows which ass to sniff. Last I heard he was still taking bows for catching Tyler Robinson, whose family turned him in. "Who Loved Charlie the Most?" is the hottest board game this Christmas.
How is the FBI director responding to this? When DHS posted about a car crash involving an undocumented Indian national, Palm Bay, Florida, city councilman Chandler Langevin replied, "Deport every Indian immediately" followed by "There's not a single Indian that cares about the United States." Doesn't feel so good when the hate splashes on you, does it? Langevin's not fond of Islam, either, and venerates Charlie Kirk. He's one of you, K$H!
Antisemitism took a horrific form in Manchester, where a man with a knife killed two people and wounded four others during a Yom Kippur service. He was shot by police and two other men were arrested.
After a remarkably short tenure E.J. Antoni has packed up his painting of the Bismarck and quit as director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. No director, government shutdown, it looks like there won't be a humiliatingly bad jobs report for September. Oh, well!
